MT. STERLING, KY: The Gateway Regional Arts Center (GRAC) is partnering with the City of Mt. Sterling and Kentucky Shakespeare to present a production of William Shakespeare's iconic play, Hamlet, in downtown Mt. Sterling on April 1st at 2:00pm. The professional cast of actors from Kentucky Shakespeare in Louisville will kick off their 2023 spring tour in downtown Mt. Sterling at the Market Pavilion at the Adena Trail, next to the old Train Depot at the end of South Maysville.

This exciting partnership will bring high-quality theater to the community and provide a unique cultural experience for all. "I am excited to bring Shakespeare to Mount Sterling," said Mayor Al Botts, who has been a champion for live theatre in the community. "We are grateful to Mayor Botts' leadership on helping to make this possible," said GRAC Executive Director Jordan Campbell.

The event is free and open to the public. Everyone who plans to attend is welcome to bring their own folding chairs, snacks, and drinks. In the event of inclement weather, the performance will be held inside at the Gateway Regional Arts Center.

The Inaugural production in the Mt. Sterling Shakespeare in the Park Series is funded through sponsorship from CHI-St. Joseph Mt. Sterling. Additional events in the Mt. Sterling Shakespeare in the Park Series will be released in the coming weeks.
